"Boyne Water" is an English sword dance known in New England as a polka. It is set in<br> G Major. The parts are played ABCD in Karpeles and Raven and AABB in Miller & Perron.<br> There was a military march of this name used in the British army in the Revolutionary War<br> period, though it was probably an unrelated tune.<br> It is the fourth figure in the sword dance from the village of Sleights, England, near Whitby in Yorkshire.<br> It was printed in Karpeles & Schofield's A Selection of 100 English Folk Dance Airs (1951),<br> Miller & Perron's New England Fiddler's Repertoire (1983) and<br> Raven's English Country Dance Tunes (1984).<br>
